What is the Pearl Scholars Leadership Academy (PSLA)?
PSLA is a free, six-week summer program for high school students in the Queens community. It’s all about empowerment, education, and impact. It’s where future leaders are born.
Since 2020, PSLA has thrived thanks to the generous support of New York City discretionary grants funded through the Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD).
The program offers a diverse range of learning modules, including:
• STEM training with our partners at Springboard Incubators: coding, robotics, AI,drone making, and more
• The Future Marketers Program led by Google Marketing Producer, Habibatou Magassa. Real world branding and marketing exposure
• The Young Debaters Program led by Richard Celestin, LLC
• Leadership, culture, and service: Leadership skills development, enriching experiences like Broadway and museums, and a collaborative community service
project as their capstone
